TLDR
The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters and the reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.Abstract:
Air, air, air… and some solid skeleton; this is the basis for an interesting class of materials-the aerogels (shown schematically on the right). Can one therefore speak of "simple" chemistry? The design of such a filigrane network requires the very careful control of chemical parameters. The reward is an assortment of different property profiles owing to the richness of possible variations.read more

Tailoring thermal properties of ambient pressure dried MTMS/TEOS co-precursor aerogels
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of NH3·H2O concentration on thermal properties of the MTMS/TEOS co-precursor aerogels were explored in detail, showing that the thermal properties can be tailored by adjusting the NH 3·H 2O concentration.
